Study Summary

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a disease in which the immune system attacks the healthy cells and tissues, causing inflammation that can damage organs in the body. About 50% of SLE patients experience inflammation in the kidneys. The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness and safety of two dosing arms of ACTHar gel in treating proliferative Lupus Nephritis (LN). This study hypothesizes that both dosing arms of ACTHar are safe and effective in treating proliferative LN (Class III and IV).

Primary Outcome

Complete response (CR) is defined as all of the following criteria having been achieved: 1. Stabilization of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (i.e., a 6-month eGFR level ± 10% of baseline) or improvement if the screening value is changed from patient's baseline 2. Inactive urinary sediment (red blood cells per high-power field \[RBCs/HPF\] \< 5-10, not due to gyn bleeding) 3. Urine protein/creatinine ratio \< 0.5
